Chapter 917: Opinion

Camille asked bluntly, and the old Simpson was slightly taken aback

but quickly responded in a calm tone, "No, don't think too much or

guess randomly. I'm fine. It's just that I'm getting old and my mind is

slowing down. Don't worry about me." The old Simpson clearly didn't

want to talk about this matter any further, so he briefly answered

Camille's question and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

This made Camille feel helpless because she was convinced that the

old Simpson must be hiding something from them. He didn't stay in the

hall for too long before he got up to rest in his room.

When Ayan came downstairs, only Camille was sitting on the couch

alone. Ayan walked over and sat next to her, asking softly,"Why are you

sitting here alone?"

"Grandpa is resting now. What about you? How did your conversation

with Dad go?" Camille asked worriedly.

Ayan instinctively frowned with a hint of gloom on his handsome face

as he replied hoarsely,"Grandpa refused to tell us what's going on

exactly. Dad has been thinking it over these days and plans to take

Grandpa back to where he grew up for a while - somewhere rural but

convenient enough - Mom might go with them too; we'll have to take

care of Timmy ourselves.”

Camille nodded, "Okay, as long as it's good for Grandpa.”

Ayan smiled faintly,"But it will be hard work for you."

“Timmy is our responsibility anyway, isn't it? It wouldn't be fair if we

relied solely on the forever, isn't it?" replied Camille thoughtfully.

She understood that they couldn't rely entirely on their family members’

help forever; they needed independence eventually.

The Simpson family had given her all their support when she needed

help most; this fact remained etched deeply into her heart until now.

Ayan was moved by what she said and gently hugged her while

whispering,” know you have no other thoughts than being considerate

towards others. I just don't want him disturbing our private time

together. If he moves in with us, then all of your attention will

undoubtedly shift towards him instead of me. Although I know he's our

child, I'm still a bit jealous. But don't worry, I won't make things difficult

for you. I'll adjust my own feelings. Just don't ignore me," Ayan said to

Camille in a long string of words that left her confused and staring at

him for a while before she regained her composure.

Shaking her head helplessly, Camille said, "Why are you acting like a

child? You're not as mature as Timmy psychologically. He's not just my

son but also yours. How can you be jealous of your own child?"

"If he were a girl, I would hold him in the palm of my hand,” Ayan

replied with deep eyes that seemed to have some ambiguous emotions

floating around them and his voice becoming hoarse. "He fights with

me for my wife, can I still be nice to him?"

Camille felt tired already and could predict what the future held for them

if Timmy grew older; Ayan would probably treat him in ways he usually

used towards an adult.

Sighing silently, Camille whispered softly, “Don’t bully him."

Ayan smiled slyly and said teasingly, "You're already protecting him

even before he moves in together officially? If you keep treating him so

well like this, then I might find an excuse to send him away!"

"Ayan!!!" Camille was furious because Timmy was only one year old

while Ayan acted like he was younger than six months old.

But when she shouted at Ayan sternly, he hugged her tighter and cooed

gently into her ear saying: "I just want you to care about me more."

Camille didn't want to talk anymore or bother with his nonsense but

knew that it was all talk anyway; there was no way he would actually do

anything harmful towards their son since Timmy is his child too.

As they chatted on about nothing important, Talia walked out from the

dining room holding onto Timmy's little hand after feeding him earlier.

The scene caught Talia's attention immediately as she saw how loving

they were towards each other despite their arguments earlier on.

Talia leaned over and hugged Timmy, and said with a big smile,

“Timmy, look at how loving Mom and Dad are!"

Timmy clapped his hands and called Mom and Dad in a childish voice,

so cute.

Camille was still in Ayan's arms, and her mother-in-law and son saw

such a scene again. She froze, her face was even redder and hotter,

and she lowered her face, not daring to look at Talia and Timmy.

Compared to her shyness, Ayan was fearless and not even slightly

embarrassed. He even raised his hand and gently covered Camille's

head, whispering to Talia, "Mom, if you keep going, I'll have to kneel on

the keyboard when we get back."

Talia laughed even harder. "I'd love to see you kneel on the keyboard."

Ayan was helpless but Camille slowly sat up from his embrace. She

didn't look at Talia and just whispered, "Mom."

Talia couldn't stop laughing and said softly in response, "Oh well." She

walked over with Timmy in her arms and sat in another empty seat. She

continued speaking softly saying,"After your Dad and I accompany your

Grandpa back to the countryside, Ayan will be responsible for the

wedding photos. We'll be gone for at most half a month until your

Grandpa feels better then we'll come back.”

Talia sighed as she spoke, The reason why we decided to go down

south temporarily is because your Dad is worried about your Grandpa's

health. He's afraid that he will always miss his old home so he decided

it would be best if he could be travel more while he still has good

health.”

Camille nodded along with Ayan as Talia gave them detailed

instructions about Timmy's care including everything from food to

lodging.

After giving all the instructions, Talia suggested,"Since Timmy will move

in with you guys along with his nanny, it might not feel very spacious

living near Maple Leaves Mansion. There are so many clothes and

toys. So how about moving back into Hanyama Mansion for a while?"

Her tone was gentle enough that it didn't make Camille uncomfortable.

Camille looked at Ayan before responding,”"Mom, don't worry about us,

Ayan will take care of everything.” This made Ayan visibly happy as he

had always hoped that Camille would rely on him completely.

Ayan responded by saying,"I'm already working on finding a house. We

should be able to move soon.”

Talia listened without asking too many questions since they were all

adults who could handle things themselves. It wouldn't do any good

asking too much anyway.

The two of them stayed at the Simpson's mansion until around nine

o'clock at night, but they didn't bring Timmy with them. Talia and

Fletcher were going to leave with the old Simpson in a couple of days,

so they would pick up Timmy after settling into their new place.

After leaving the Simpson's mansion, they drove back to Maple Leaves

Mansion. On the way, Camille couldn't help but ask Ayan: "Did you just

tell Mom that we can move into the house soon?"

"Yeah, I told you before that it was already furnished. We just need to

adjust some minor details.”

"Will there be formaldehyde if we move in too quickly?"

"No, don't worry. I'll have a professional team test it."

"Mm-hmm."

Camille nodded and couldn't help but say: “I'm really looking forward to

living with Timmy. It's not too busy lately so I can spend more time with

him."

Camille was happy and her lips curved into a faint smile at the thought.

Ayan glanced over calmly and asked in a gentle voice: "You're this

happy just because Timmy is coming?"
